Mazhumba

Periodically Jack will come screeching into my office saying, "Look at this monster that Ultraman fights." I'll turn around and see something like this -- something exactly like this in fact, as all Jack's Ultraman monsters look more or less like a small boy of almost 5 with his head poking out of his t-shirt, making an ungodly screeching noise. Jack told me this monster's name was "Mazhumba." He was quite admamant that I get the zh sound right, correcting me when I said "MaJOOMba."

Don't know who Ultraman is? Consider yourself enlightened.

Yosemite Sam

We took a long weekend trip to Yosemite, a first for any of us, and had a blast camping in the Curry Village tent cabins. Mommy wasn't so crazy about the showers but otherwise we had a wonderful time. Yosemite was even more breathtaking and fun than we had imagined. Here is a link to some fun family shots, and be sure to check back often and look around my other Yosemite collections on my Flickr account, as I am adding many of the 1200+ photos I shot there, as well as adding descriptions and details to these pictures over the next few days.
